World’s twistiest zorbing track

Experience description

Zorbing probably couldn’t have been invented anywhere else but New Zealand - the idea is ludicrous, but amazingly fun. If you’ve never tried it before, then the concept is pretty simple: you climb into a giant inflatable ball, get strapped into a harness, then pushed down a twisty track. As you roll around and around, bump up and down, and splash around in the water inside the ball, you’ll immediately realise why this is one of the most popular activities in New Zealand - it’s just straight-up laughs all the way.

The first zorbing track was created in Rotorua, and they still do it best. You’ll be taking two spins, the first down a straight track that sees you pick up some impressive speed, and you can get inside the ball with up to two friends. Then it’s the famous Sidewinder, where you’ll be bouncing along on the twistiest zorbing track in the world, rolling off corners and laughing non-stop. If you’re looking for an unusual and crazy fun time, try this Rotorua gift experience and discover the pure joy of zorbing.
